Are you a sportboat sailor who is sailing often regattas? Are you the one who is swimming around the boat on the racing day mornings, or did you delegate this job? Anyway we have something very useful for you.

We are proud to introduce our newest dealer from the South hemisphere! My Yacht is an importer and distributor of Marine parts, located in Sydney. They supply to a huge range of boats form dinghys and skiffs to Maxi yachts and everything in between. My Yacht has developed from their passions and expertise in the marine industry and...

If you arrived here to read this blogpost we may suppose that you are a committed sailor of dinghies or catamarans. Because yacht owners don't use such kind of boatcovers only if their boat is off from the water during wintertime - but it is a whole other question. Dinghy- or catsailors leave their boat in the club or the marina on the shore for a few days or sometimes for more sad longer weeks. If the boat stay naked, many bad surprizes can salute you when arriving back to sail.

It is a real challenge to invite young sailors from Optimist to the track of multihulls. Once you became a catsailor, you will stay a catsailor forever. It doesn't mean that you cannot sail Volvo Ocean Race or any competitional or leisure monohull, but you will always return to some speedmachines.

Once upon a time, really long time ago a genius sailmaker decided to create a new kind of cover for sporty sailboat like dinghys and catamarans. The sailmaker was the deeply honored Giorgio Zuccholi, who was working with high class and Olympic sailors. As Giorgio (who is actually the record keeper of Centomiglia of Lago di Garda, still today!) designed many Olympic medal winner sails, he was working very close to the sailors. Their need was a light cover to protect the boat. He found the answer for their needs, and that was the ancestor of the contemporal UV Covers.

"Winter is coming" is the motto of House Stark at the Game of Thrones fantasy by George R.R. Martin. By the way this fictional family of books and tv series has not a good destiny, but for your boat the same should be predestinated. As we are a cover maker company, it's a duty call for us write about that subject in the Autumn of the Northern Hemisphere.

As announced the UV Covers proudly sponsored the Finn dinghy Gold Cup (Balatonföldvár, Hungary) with a "leader cover", the famous yellow one. This UV Cover can't be ordered, only won. After every round of famous races you can easily have an eye on the champion of the day.

For Mischa this F18 Title took more than 10 years in the making. Congratulations Mischa Hemskeerk and Stephan Dekker, well deserved! It was a great debut for the #yellowcover, and people liked the idea. Even on the event's facebook page these pictures got many likes. Thank you for the support!

The regatta season is on, time to embark to the classical American tradition, the road trip! But not a general one, with a rusty and dusty cabrio, some guns, bad guys, alcohol and drugs, crime, sex and love, good music... but even a better one!!! Pulling a trailer with your boat, car full packed with wet- and drysuits, lifevests. Your mind is full with the upcoming event, the feeling of the boatpark, the smell of a new shore, the get-together with your best mates, and sailing sailing sailing to your last breath...

If you want to understand why we have to protect our boats from the sun, you'll need to read some science. Don't be afraid, some of us went mostly sailing instead of sitting in the school, but it's understandable for everyone.

I am sure that sometimes you were fed up with you old, dirty covers. Perhaps it was made from PVC, or any other material, some mildew, some bird poop, salt from seawater, and some old unidentified whatever... everyone hate to touch and take off that cover.
